RMT415 macros

Greetings everyone. It has been a while since I had need to change my remotes so I haven't been visiting the forum a lot lately. Hope everyone is doing well.

Quick question re the RMT415 version 1.

I tried to set up a 5th device using normal Shift plus one of the four device buttons to call a macro to select the 5th device. This is how I used to do it on my old Insignia remotes.

But it doesn't seem to work.

Do Shift(SET) macros not work on the RMT415?

Should work. Post your RMIR file so we can take a look.

I dug out my RMT415 file from 2016. I definitely used shift macros for the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th devices. But I put them on regular buttons, not the device buttons. I'd give that a try. Unfortunately I no longer have one to test.

I took your advice and put macros on Shifted non-device buttons and it works. So I guess the limitation is trying to use the device buttons.

Very annoying. The SET button is closest to the device buttons so they are the most convenient (and dare I say most natural) place to put device selection macros.

I knew I should have bought a bunch of those Insignia RC02U remotes when they were still available

MENU and INFO look like good candidates for the shifted macros as they're very close to the device buttons.

They do seem like the next best buttons, location-wise.
